[Chimera-users] coordinates

[hsosa at aecom.yu.edu]

Hi,

I am trying to rotate  a molecule  around a  3D density map.  I had 
already saved the coordinates of the molecule relative to the map. 
However if I rotate the pdb file (creating a new pdb file with the 
rotated molecule)  by rotating the coordinates around the origin (0,0,0) 
the new molecule is rotated around a a center that does not coincide 
with the center of the map.
So I am confused about what are the relative positions of  the origin 
for the map and pdb file.  If I have an atom with pdb coordinates  0,0,0 
should this  atom appear at the center of   the density map ?.

Thanks

Hernando
